THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER
Force to be released at any moment. When he felt someone touch his garment
in search of healing, he immediately perceived what had happened for he felt
the stream of Living Force flow from him and he knew that someone had
received it. He turned round and said, “power has been drawn from me, who
touched my garment?”
Now it was obvious that many had touched his garment but only one
had claimed the power of healing. So his garment was touched in a certain way
and the power flowed towards the one who sought it so fervently. At that
moment the woman was healed and his words were to her a benediction, “thy
faith hath made thee whole,” for he knew her mental attitude towards him.
It is the Presence that you must realize and feel, so that at any moment
those who are in ignorance of the Truth who are eagerly seeking can have it. Their
faith will make them whole, their faith being their capacity to receive.
Many are caught up with their little gods, their little ceremonies with
their methods and their separate beliefs and fears lest they commit a mortal sin.
They are afraid to step out of their cages and seek freedom and Life. They are
steeped in their illusions claiming these to be knowledge. It is because they do
not know the Real, “The Presence” that these illusions are realities to them.
I must complete the story of the healing of the little girl. So as Jesus
came near the house the servants and relatives came running out to exclaim in
their sorrow mingled with a certain amount of resentment because the healer
had not arrived sooner, that the little girl had died.
Jairus the father broke down at this terrible news coming at the greatest
moment of his hope. Jesus, on seeing his great grief turned to him and said,
“Jairus, have faith, believe with all your heart and THE PRESENCE OF
GOD will be revealed to you.”
Here is the instruction from the Master himself, “believe with all your
heart in the Presence of God.”
Jesus then called three of his disciples, Peter, James and John and went
inside the house. His first act was to send all the weeping family and the wailing
neighbours outside for they were of little help for they believed in sickness and
death. Then he took the little girl’s hand in his own, and the strangest thing began to
happen, the little chest began to swell with Life’s breath and the child’s cheeks
began to flush with Life’s bloom and she opened her eyes with a wondering
look. She gazed into the eyes of Jesus—THE PRESENCE HAD MET THE
PRESENCE.
